Ok, after everyone's help (which I very much appreciated) I finally did some geek work on my own and figured out the "shortcut" arrow was corrupted, or missing, so it was defaulting to the system icon. I created an empty icon to replace the crappy arrow, changed it via Windows 7 Manager (Customization).
Thanks everyone for your input, advice, and experience. You guys (and gals) ROCK!!:)
Good that it is sorted and thanks for letting us know how you got it sorted. :)
Cheers

My Windows 7 laptop seems to have died - I've been fighting BSODs for years now. They ALL seem to refer to a display driver problem, and I've never been able to permanently fix it, so I've lived with the monthly BSOD.

Hi Everyone,
I have just finished a clean reinstall of Win7 Home Premium following a BSOD incident --- cause unknown.
As no update was being offered following the install, I chose to install IE11 manually.
This appeared OK, and I then moved the Favorites folder to my D:\drive.
Checked...
Hi,
I've tried all the possible options written here, including keys and Link folder and nothing helps.
I realized that also the favorites folder and also the Links folder change back to "read-only" right after I try to change them. any idea?
Thanks,
Amitai
